Belle First 50-50 Man: September 30, 1995 (Cleveland) — Albert Belle’s sixth-inning home run in today’s game carved him a place in baseball history as the first player to hit 50 homers and 50 doubles in a season. The Indians’ left fielder, who entered the game with 52 doubles, crushed a high fastball from Kansas City’s Melvin Bunch and never watched it clear the left field fence. The blast culminated Belle’s record-setting rush of 31 home runs in a two-month period.
